Graham Crackers
Printable Recipe
2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup sucanat (dehydrated cane juice) or brown sugar
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. cinnamon
3 T. honey
1/4 c. water
1 t. vanilla
1/2 cup butter, melted
Place all your dry ingredients in the bowl of your mixer and combine. Add all of the wet ingredients and mix with the cookie paddle attachment until everything comes together. The dough isn’t sticky and is moderately greasy.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Divide the dough in half and roll half out on a floured surface. Roll to about 1/4 inch thick. You can treat the dough like a sugar cookie dough and cut out shapes or you can use a pizza cutter and cut out squares. Place the cut out crackers on a parchment-paper-lined cookie sheet, prick them with a fork, and bake for 8-12 minutes until the edges just slightly darken. They will harden up more as they cool. Store in an air tight container.
Of course you grind your own flour. I’ll be skipping that step but these do look really yummy. Can’t wait to try.
I sold my wheat grinder earlier this year because we went Primal and cut out wheat. We’re letting it creep back in just a bit now and I’m regretting (a little) selling my grinder. Oh well, Bobs Red Mill flour will work just fine I guess. Thanks for the great recipe. I will be trying this for sure. I’m your newest follower…your blog is lovely.
Yum! I’ve thought about making graham crackers before but changed my mind when I thought they would be too hard and no better for you. Whole wheat flour? YAY!
These look adorable! I bet Sophie would love them. I’ll try them soon!
Thanks for the recipe, I’ll have to give it a go. I haven’t been able to source graham crackers here in Aus, so now I will be able to make other recipies that require them. :)
i am going to do this when Makayla is ready for crackers!! Thank you for this recipe! (maybe I’ll even make it this winter-yum!)
Sometimes I bake them up extra thick and pretty crunchy and they are just like those Gerber Biter Biscuits but lots better (and way cheaper!).
OH I am SO trying this today! I never would have done it if I had to hunt down the graham flower but your recipe is do-able! I have all this stuff in my kitchen already!

We made them this afternoon- yum! But I have to admit, my younger 3 liked them plain but my older 3 did not- so we put frosting on them and now they are in LOVE :)
Do you have a healthy frosting recipe? haha
Emily- I’m so glad you tried them. Sometime I’ll brush them with a little melted butter or coconut oil and then sprinkle them with cinnamon and sugar. Do you think your older kids would like that? I have lots of icing recipes but none that I would claim as healthy :)
oooh great ideas! just came back to make these again and I am printing this time- and adding your suggestions to the hard copy!
I just saw ourbestbites posted a graham cracker recipe 10 days after yours. You are fancy- posting before the big-wigs. And yours has less fat & sugar. I will be trying this…when the weather cools down & I start using my oven again. (besides for making bread) These summer days make me want to get a solar oven ;)
Is the flavor close to a graham cracker? I want to make them, but I’m afraid it won’t taste enough like the originals…
Don’t count on them tasting like store-bought… those are a whole nother animal and these aren’t even made with the same ingredient. They are delicious but not the same. I say try them and see what you think. If anything they eat like a cookie :)
